About ElecGear PS5 NVMe SSD Heatsink, EL-P5C Heat Pipe + Solid Aluminum Cooler
Overall Feedback:
96% positive
94% liked the sleek design
I think the heatsink is either doing its job or it's overkill.
92% praised for its solid build quality
The heatsink has a little weight to it.
I noticed that this heatsink performed exceptionally well, keeping temperatures down better and dissipating them faster after an intense gaming session.

The heat sink is made of aluminum and is sizeable. It fills the available space in the PS5 nicely and replaces the factory m.2 slot dust cover.
93% found it compatible with multiple platforms
I installed a thicker foam support piece under the drive and used a 1mm thermal pad between the SSD and heatsink while installing the heatsink on my 990 Pro 2TB, which is single-sided.
The heatsink was easy to install into my ps5 and is a good match with Samsung 990 Pro.
I specifically looked for a heatsink with fin channels aligned with airflow from the blower motors and fitting the factory contours inside the device. This one ticked the boxes and left me feeling confident in the cooling ability.

After playing games on the SSD for a few hours, the heatsink is still pretty cool.
77% appreciated the advanced fan control features
After installing the heatsink and playing games on the SSD for a few hours, I could feel that it is still pretty cool, indicating its efficiency in controlling the fan and keeping the temperature low.
95% appreciated the easy installation process, while 5% encountered difficulties
Using the included plastic washer on the original cover plate screw for the heatsink mounting made perfect contact with the drive based on the indention in the thermal pad.
I found the installation relatively easy, but had difficulty keeping the clear washers on the end of the tiny lockdown screw.
